'ELPA' just means 'Emacs Lisp Package Archive'. There are a number 
of such ELPAs: GNU ELPA (sometimes abbreviated to GELPA), the 
Marmalade ELPA, MELPA, and so on. i believe that 
`google-translate` is only packaged on MELPA, so you'll need to 
set up your Emacs to use MELPA:

http://melpa.org/#/getting-started

You should then find MELPA packages listed when you call 
`package-list-packages`, and be able to `package-install` the 
`google-translate` package.
